Hey, congrats on the new job and hope the move works out for you. Seems like a bunch of us are moving lately. Fun to see new places.

Rock Bottom is a gem. I made a post not too long ago about it as well at http://forums.audioreview.com/rave-recordings/robert-wyatts-cuckooland-766-post4837.html but I still haven't heard Cuckooland. Gotten lots of great reviews. Shleep is another favorite of mine, especially if you're a big Brian Eno fan like me.

NP: The Lilac Time: Looking For A Day In the Night - Forgot what a nice CD this one is. Got that beautifully endearing English country-folk-pop sound that makes everything seem like it'll be OK no matter what's going on....like the first flower of spring (as somebody at amazon says). Lots of pedal steel and banjo but it ain't no hillbilly music. Gotta get this one back in regular rotation.
